This paper is devoted to periodic travelling waves solving Lie-Poisson equations based on the Virasoro group. We show that the reconstruction of any such solution can be carried out exactly, regardless of the underlying Hamiltonian (which…
We describe traveling waves in a basic model for three-dimensional water-wave dynamics in the weakly nonlinear long-wave regime. Small solutions that are periodic in the direction of translation (or orthogonal to it) form an…
We construct families of smooth travelling-wave solutions to the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic equation (SQG). These solutions can be viewed as the equivalents for this equation of the vortex anti-vortex pairs in the context of the…
We investigate the existence of Wilton ripple solutions of the Kawahara equation. Without loss of generality, these are $2\pi$-periodic, traveling-wave solutions whose profiles at zero amplitude have a codimension-1 bifurcation from a…

In this paper, we prove global regularity, scattering, and the non-existence of small traveling waves for the $3D$ finite depth capillary waves system for small initial data. The non-existence of small traveling waves shows a fundamental…
We prove that symmetric, doubly periodic, capillary-gravity water waves in finite depth bifurcating from non-uniform non-stagnant shear flows are necessarily two-dimensional to leading order. This is in stark contrast to the case of uniform…
We examine the applicability of the weak wave turbulence theory in explaining experimental scaling results obtained for the diffusion and relative diffusion of particles moving on turbulent surface waves. For capillary waves our theoretical…
We develop a time-dependent conformal method to study the effect of viscosity on steep surface waves. When the effect of surface tension is included, numerical solutions are found that contain highly oscillatory parasitic capillary ripples.…
We introduce a new model equation for Stokes gravity waves based on conformal transformations of Euler's equations. The local version of the model equation is relevant for dynamics of shallow water waves. It allows us to characterize the…
We consider the free boundary problem for a two-dimensional, incompressible, perfect, irrotational liquid drop of nearly circular shape with capillarity: that is, we consider the 2D version of the 3D capillary drop problem treated in…
We investigate the sedimentation properties of quasi-neutrally buoyant inertial particles carried by incompressible zero-mean fluid flows. We obtain generic formulae for the terminal velocity in generic space-and-time periodic (or steady)…
Motivated by the rich variety of complex periodic and quasi-periodic patterns found in systems such as two-frequency forced Faraday waves, we study the interaction of two spatially periodic modes that are nearly resonant. Within the…
We present a new hydrodynamic analogy of nonrelativistic quantum particles in potential wells. Similarities between a real variant of the Schr\"odinger equation and gravity-capillary shallow water waves are reported and analyzed. We show…
We consider doubly-periodic travelling waves at the surface of an infinitely deep perfect fluid, only subjected to gravity $g$ and resulting from the nonlinear interaction of two simply periodic travelling waves making an angle $2\theta $…
Using the method of sub-super-solution, we construct a solution of $(-\Delta)^su-cu_z-f(u)=0$ on $\R^3$ of pyramidal shape. Here $(-\Delta)^s$ is the fractional Laplacian of sub-critical order $1/2<s<1$ and $f$ is a bistable nonlinearity.…
We establish the existence of gravity water waves by applying a mountain pass theorem to a singular perturbation of the Alt-Caffarelli functional associated with the two-dimensional water wave equations. Our approach is formulated entirely…
